Does Anyone Recognise This Phrase Please,
'If enough evidence of perjury and false evidence is found the judgement should be set aside'
I forgot to note the source down when I discovered it. I think maybe CPR or Practice Directions maybe.
Thanks all.

the hurdle is high - there has to be an independent witness to the act complained of
IN R v Adomako a medical manslaughter case, a nurse said Dr A was drinking milk in the ward kitchen when he had said he was with a patient.
There could be no prosecution for perjury because there was no other witness to back up the statement.
You will have noticed people lie every day but there are very few prosecutions for perjury

Thanks PP, the context initially of the perjury I mention is the evidence adduced late that is provably false by comparison to 'real evidence' in the trial and that is 'fraud of the party' to me anyway. It could only be construed as an attempt to mislead the court and that is perverting the course of justice in my humble opinion since it succeeded in that objective ?
